Description: Promising strategies for improving the performance of state-owned enterprises were tested by many countries during the 1980s. This book explores two of these strategies: privatization and performance contracting--the latter a method that fives governments better control over state-owned enterprises.

The volume provides practical and accessible information for policymakers and practitioners charged with improving the performance of state-owned enterprises. The authors shed light on the political and economic problems and prospects associated with the two strategies.
